out of my box quilt top

I'm calling this quilt "out of my box". It's an example of how to use slabs in a traditional lay out. I don't use black and white that often, but I love the application of it here, as sashing. (Thanks Debbie for the suggestion!) Of course the fact that it's a polka dot doesn't hurt. I love the orchid colored cornerstones. I'm hoping to get this one quilted and bound before I head to camp stitch-a-lot. (That's next week already! Yikes!)

Not to air my clean laundry or anything (har har har), but I am celebrating because my husband installed a clothesline for me this weekend! Line dried sheets are the BEST!

Now, to answer a few questions that I've been getting repeatedly this week....

I've had a bunch of questions about the zig zag tutorial that I linked to last Wednesday. The blog is GONE, and so is the tutorial. I never published it on my own blog and I don't have the instructions written down anywhere (argh!!!) so please use the moda pdf here. Thank you!

Also, for those of you who were looking for the mystery quilt instructions, the links are here. (Thanks, Julie!) :)

Really nice quilt, Amanda Jean - and I love the sashing! Aren't clotheslines the best for taking quilt pics? I love mine - plus I've got the old-fashioned kind that can spin around so I can always get the best light available!

It IS out of your box but it is awesome. I love the clothes line. Would you believe we have covenance that dictate we cannot have one? Boo Hoo! Thankfully, I do have friends with lines I can borrow for photo purposes.

Thank you to you and Julie for the link for the mystery pattern! I really wanted to have that one on file. xo
